On Our Way - Sep 25 Sailing

I read you can get a free antigen test at Papeete airport.  Not sure if that is correct or not.

Am on Dec 4 sailing as a single!  Interested to see your pictures and read your comments.

Here is a photo of the room. We are in 616. I closed the curtains to get a better photo. The sliding door to the balcony appears new as well as the furniture (two chairs and small table) on the balcony.

The medical staff conducted an antigen covid test on all passengers last Wednesday and another is scheduled today. It's at no cost to us and is very quick.

Thank you for all your postings ACERECL lots of great information. We are looking at doing a PG cruise but I see that in their information it states Fragonard mood fragrances. As I have a severe allergy to many fragrances could you tell me if this is diffused throughout the ship or just an option for each bathroom. 

Strange request I know but it is a deal breaker for me. 

Looking forward to more postings from your cruise!

I'm very interested in the answer to this. I also have a very bad reaction to some fragrances and don't want to take a cruise where I need to take an antihistamine 24/7.

We noticed no fragrances anywhere on the ship. One of our party saw a crew member one day spraying something in the stateroom hallway. It could have been COVID sanitation related. We didn’t ask and the smell dissipated quickly.  Now that I think about it there were NO lingering odors anywhere on the ship. 
 

If still concerned, I’m sure PG can answer your question directly. I will also say the crew members are wonderful. They will try their best to accommodate you in any way with any special requests. Just ask!

We scheduled a rapid antigen COVID-19 test aboard the PG for our flight home to the US. The cost was $30 per person. It was quick and very convenient. They gave us the required documentation the same afternoon. My understanding is the test at PPT airport is 5,700 francs (about $57 USD) so PG is more convenient and costs less.

Yes I just got an update from PG about tests. Originally it sounded like the one at the airport was free but it’s not. Also have to schedule a Covid PCR in Papeete to board since I have two days there and my original test will have expired. Love to hear about your experiences on the boat and on excursions.
